The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic

September 15, 2020September 3, 2020 Vinterd

And here I was barely yesterday pretty okay with thinking that there would only be one worthwhile album coming out this year that covered any sort of natural or even geographic history of any sort, but, clearly, I was mistaken. … Continue reading The Ocean Collective – Phanerozoic II: Mesozoic | Cenozoic

Renunciation – The Terminal Archetype

September 14, 2020August 29, 2020 Vinterd

I’ve always loved the fact that whenever I sit down to listen to black metal when it’s only described as such, I could be in store for almost quite literally anything simply because of how eclectic the style is as … Continue reading Renunciation – The Terminal Archetype

Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom

September 13, 2020August 27, 2020 Vinterd

A proper crushing doom work is like nothing else out there. Creations like that are almost always epic in scope, immensely satisfying in the most uncompromising ways, absolutely devastating in every sense, and a real achievement because everyone knows it’s … Continue reading Subterraen – Rotten Human Kingdom

Lik – Misanthropic Breed

September 12, 2020September 3, 2020 Vinterd

We could sit here for weeks uninterrupted and talk about the thousands upon thousands of death metal bands of all sorts, especially the more recent acts that are more worthy of our attention. When it comes to that group, I … Continue reading Lik – Misanthropic Breed

Saturn’s Husk – The Conduit

September 11, 2020August 24, 2020 Vinterd

Doom really feels like the kind of style where two things are constantly in a battle for overall dominance: heaviness and riffage. It’s a constant war between the two where each band takes on their own special mix between one … Continue reading Saturn’s Husk – The Conduit

Dwarrowdelf – Evenstar

September 10, 2020September 5, 2020 Vinterd

I’ve said it many times over the years and I will gladly say it yet again: one of my favorite parts about doing these reviews is coming back to bands that I’ve investigated before and then see them grow into … Continue reading Dwarrowdelf – Evenstar

Atramentus – Stygian

September 9, 2020August 22, 2020 Vinterd

Funeral doom metal has been something that I’ve always been drawn to without exception ever since my fascination with the concept of ultra-long songs being implanted in my brain six years ago, and it’s a love that has only grown … Continue reading Atramentus – Stygian

Zmey Gorynich – Devilish Dances

September 8, 2020August 21, 2020 Vinterd

Every so often, I get the absolute luxury of receiving an album that cannot be considered as anything other than a damn good fun time. Metal is a style that’s more than befitting of serious content made for serious listeners, … Continue reading Zmey Gorynich – Devilish Dances

Orbit Culture – Nija

September 7, 2020August 21, 2020 Vinterd

As far as hard-hitting and striking death metal albums go by competent bands, the list really does feel like it goes on for some time. But, there are definitely a good number of bands out there that deserve much more … Continue reading Orbit Culture – Nija

MRTVI – Omniscient Hallucinatory Delusion

September 6, 2020August 20, 2020 Vinterd

The unexplainable realm of experimental black metal is just as wondrous as it is uninviting, capricious, awe-inspiring, and chaotic, and it’s something that I’ve rarely gotten enough of just because of how eclectic it is in every possible way with … Continue reading MRTVI – Omniscient Hallucinatory Delusion
